Adult Literacy & High School Equivalency

Intergenerational Mobility & Family Literacy
Adult education has long been a pathway to greater opportunity—helping adults strengthen foundational skills, earn credentials, prepare for postsecondary education, and enter or advance in the workforce. Yet skills and credentials alone do not always provide equal access to opportunity.
Community colleges are navigating a complicated moment: enrollment pressures, changing demographics, growing workforce demands, and an urgent need to help more adults move toward credentials, careers, and economic mobility.
